<br /> <br />Area <br /> <br />I <br />II <br /> <br />III <br /> <br />IV <br /> <br />V <br /> <br />VI <br /> <br />- <br /> <br />I <br />i <br />Population growth in the 1, largest \:i ties listed above between 1940 <br />and 19,0 was over 38 percent as compared to nearly 28 percent for the total <br />region. In 1940 about 32 percent of the total population resided in the <br />15 cities listed as compared to 34 percent in 19,0. The figures indicate <br />that the trend in the region has been toward concentration of population <br />in urban centers. <br /> <br />, <br />The changes in fam population whicn! took place between 1930 and 19,0 <br />are evident from Table 3. All of the are~s experienced losses in farm <br />population during the 20-year period. Th$ regional loss was slight between <br />1930 and 1940 because losses in the Utah$nd Colorado areas were nearly <br />compensated by gains in the other areas. : However, beMen 1940 and 19,0 <br />the farm population decreased by 1'9,000 Persona, and the decline was gen- <br />eral throughout the region. The farm population lost in the area ranged <br />from a 14.9 percent decline in the Utah area to 3:l.7 percent in the Arizona <br />area. The percentage decrease for the reg10n was less than one percent be- <br />tween 1930 and 1940, but amounted to 23.4!percent bebreen1940 and 1950. <br /> <br />. <br /> <br />- 16 - <br />
